Abstract

In this work, we investigate the existence of multiple positive solutions for a weakly coupled system of nonlinear elliptic equations governed by Pucci extremal operators. Specifically, we consider the system: {Mλ1,Λ1+(D2u1)=μf1(u1,u2,,un),in Ω,Mλ2,Λ2+(D2u2)=μf2(u1,u2,,un),in Ω,Mλn,Λn+(D2un)=μfn(u1,u2,,un),in Ω,u1=u2==un=0,on Ω, \begin{cases} -{M}_{\lambda_1,\Lambda_1}^+(D^2u_1) = \mu f_1(u_1, u_2, \dots, u_n), & \text{in } \Omega, \\ -{M}_{\lambda_2,\Lambda_2}^+(D^2u_2) = \mu f_2(u_1, u_2, \dots, u_n), & \text{in } \Omega, \vdots \\ -{M}_{\lambda_n,\Lambda_n}^+(D^2u_n) = \mu f_n(u_1, u_2, \dots, u_n), & \text{in } \Omega, \\ u_1 = u_2 = \dots = u_n = 0, & \text{on } \partial\Omega, \end{cases} where Mλ,Λ+ {M}_{\lambda,\Lambda}^+ represents the Pucci extremal operator, Ω \Omega is a bounded domain in RN \mathbb{R}^N with smooth boundary, and the nonlinear functions fi:[0,)n[0,) f_i: [0, \infty)^n \to [0, \infty) belong to the C1,α C^{1,\alpha} class. Our main results establish the existence and multiplicity of solutions for sufficiently large values of the parameter μ>0 \mu > 0 . The analysis relies on the method of sub and supersolutions, in conjunction with fixed-point arguments and bifurcation techniques.
